Toubkal Winter

During the winter, Mt Toubkal and the encompassing pinnacles of the High Atlas transform into a walker's heaven with void trails, clear air and astounding perspectives over the Toubkal Massif. Beginning from the clamoring city of Marrakech we adventure directly into the High Atlas to climb North Africa's most elevated pinnacle (4167m) in the midst of stunning landscape. Crampons and ice axes are normally required all through the trip (contingent upon climate), yet this trip is intended to be reachable by the individuals who are fit and decided enough, regardless of whether they are new to winter walking.
